Course overview

This is an introductory course to SharePoint, focusing on the collaborative, enterprise-oriented and security aspects of SharePoint. It covers parts of 70-331 certification and touches on some of the topics of 70-332 certification.

The course starts by looking at the SharePoint environment and its various parts as well as the overall structure of an organisational site.

This is followed by an overview of different types of sites that can be created and what the benefit is for different types of site collections, based on what enterprise information purposes they might serve.

Security and automation levels are introduced and applied so that all sites will have the maximum level of security and automation possible, to avoid wasting valuable time on boring and repetitive tasks.

An overview of all the building blocks of all types and levels of sites is given. The use of libraries and web parts is demonstrated, as means to create sites with image and document libraries, as well as calendars and projects lists that will facilitate team collaboration. Documents management, including version revision, check-in and check-out, and use of Office applications online is introduced as a means to maximise efficiency.

The concept of lists is covered in detail, as it is a fundamental component in SharePoint, and various uses are demonstrated. Finally, searching of the information available on the SharePoint site is covered, with examples on how to provide the most accurate results in the shortest amount of time.
